Labview 2009 installation , one of the MS Office Excel VI is broken

[Sayali]

After doing Labview 2009 installation , one of the MS Office Excel VI is broken. Tried multiple installations. The same VI is broken and all other VIs work fine. This is happening on only 1 laptop. the broken VI works fine on other laptops.

Does it say why it's broken?  Any info?

Try opening this sub-VI to see what the error is specifically.

Have you tried to search the forum? http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Set-excel-cell-color-and-border-broken-can-t-build-application/m-p/1...

Open the subVI, click on the invoke node that generate the error and reselect the same method, this should get rid of the error (don't forget to save the change once the error is gone.

Do you have different versions of Microsoft Office between the computers?

Can you open up that VI and actually show a screenshot of the block diagram where the wire is missing.  (Please attach screenshots as .png file, not embedding them into Word documents.)

Microsoft has a tendency to change some of their ActiveX objects between the different versions of Office including adding or removing parameters from some of the methods.  This will cause VI's to break if they were originally written on a PC with a different installed version of MSOffice.
